Late Vanity Trove January Box

Hey guys.

So this is my first post on April,actually I'm kinda sick right now

Anyway,I'm going to post about my Vanity Trove's Custom Box January.
Yeah I know this is April already but just received it about 2 or 3days ago.
How this can happened? Well I really pissed when I already paid for the box that I have chose and later they mail me if one of the items has sold out. You freaking me? I have paid and you should keep that. She offered me to change it with other samples. And all sachets and most are bb creams. I'm not interested and said I'll wait if there's new item that I like. Later when I mailed her , she offered me a travel sized tube of Avene. I was like "yeah,cool. It's fine." And I asked what kind they offered and it's a daily cleanser and I was like turned down. I have enough cleansers and BB cream samples , you know. So later I mailed them again,and they linked me to their custom box page and I picked one "Scar Gel" . I've difficult time to choose it since there're two other that peaked my interest. But then I think one is a trial series of basic skincare like cleanser etc and passed it. Other one is magic firming moisutrizing cream. I've googled for the review and it's 50:50. So I thought I already have moisturizing cream and I have bad pimple scars on my nose that won't heal for years! So I chose the scar gel. About 2 or 3days later after I informed her the box arrived

Tbh,I'm not that excited >_> and mind you,this post is heavy.lots of pic spamming lol

1. So this is the outter packing,not a card box,but a paper bag and I'm just impressed with the packing

4. It was wrappednwith bubble wrap and sealed with this vanity trove black seal

 5.I just don't want to torn the seal so I pulled it from the side lol

 6.The box with derma e's envelope

7.so there're brochures about derma e's products that Vanity Trove's sampling this month. So even though mine is January,but since I picked one from this month item,she gave me these brochures.
Haven't read it though

 8. So this is the box,very sturdy indeed and just Classic. Love.it

9.The gold ribbon tip is meant to pull the inner box. No mess like Lola Box because I need to flip it to make the box come out from the cardbox

10. Even it's wrapped nicely inside and no mess at all! Bravo!
So what caught my attention ia that Rp50.000 . Yeah, a voucher , and until now I still don't find the vouchers  I got are useful.more to useless for me.and that Dove logo. I thought "a shampoo?"
Oh heck no

11. So let's pull off the vouchers found the ishine vouchers worth a lot,since it's like a small booklet,with vouchers on each pages! But....... it has expired on the end of March!!! Boomers! :( so sad
And the Sariayu's has expired on the end of January! (Even though I won't use it). I'm quite disappointed they didn't change the expired brochure.and seriously it's not my fault since she's the one who's not keeping my item even though I have paid for it.

12. So,the one that still can be use is a voucher worth IDR50 from Make Over. You need to purchase min IDR150 before though or you can't use it. At first I thought Make Over is some kind of US brand or sth but I was wrong!It's a local brand! How silly am I. Figured that out about a month ago.
And so,I thought there's no Make Over counter here in Medan and I've been posting on my facebook if someone wants it,they can have it for free. But then I read it again and found out there's a counter here in Medan,and I was like yeah,let's check it later,but I dont't really need it ,seriously.Yeah,Indonesian readers,if you want it you can contact me. Mind if you pay for the shipping :v this voucher expires on 1st May


Okay then,so let's check what inside my box and I list it from my most favorite one to the least favorite

 Like , seriously? Lux? -_-

 1. Derma e scar gel+psorzema creme
I'm really excited to use it on my pimple scar and hope it works! Even though I don't know what is the function of the psorzema one. I think I'll do the reading from the brochures soon

 2. So I just took this all in one,and here's the most to the least on the picture
A.Clarins Body Shaping Cream
They said it works! Put it on the area that you want to lose (fat) before exercising.
When my item that has sold out that I mentioned earlier,she did offer me the body shaping cream but I refuse since I don't want double items. It's between avene or clarins' but the cream that I don't get is to repairing skin including from scars. So that's a shame since I anticipated that a lot

B.Clarins Extra Firming Day Cream
If you read my posts,you'll know I need a moisturizing products

C.Avene Sensitive White
Well both of Avene are in the same range,aince it's for whitening and I don't know which works best so both are number 4. I hope my pimple scars fade a little with this

 3. iShine Moisturizing Lipstick
I picked this one since it'll be bad if I don't get a full sized product. I knew that the colors are random but even if doesn't suit me,I can give it to my mom lol /slap
Btw,I forgot to take the pic of the bottom (where the color's shade is written there)

 The packing is simple black with a touch of red heart. The black in the middle is glossy

Here's the color without flash,since the flash one doesn't show the real color. The color is nice , I think I can share this to my mom since I think it's a little bold for me and I'm not a typical lipsticks lover girl

 4.Bioderma Sensibio H2O
I've forgotten that I've picked this one seriously!and it's hidden on the back so I just noticed it when I take out Avene and Clarins. And I put this almost on the end of the list since I've already received it on my January Lola Box (read the review here ) . I think I'll put this on my giveaway box

5.Lux Aqua Sparkle Refreshing Body Wash
Seriously,I don't like it,don't need it,and this can be found everywhere! Can't you give something more hardnto find item? -_- or at least a makeup tool from Masami?

6.Dove Whitening Original Deodorant
So this is not a shampoo,but a deodorant and this sucks! I don't use deo and I'm not fond of it. Thumbs down. Anyone who wants it just comment! :v









So,that's a wrap!
Overall:
Packaging 10/10
Items 8/10

It's not a bad box,this is quite a good one since most of beauty boxes are just bad or so so
But it lacks the surprise element since it's a custom box
But I just checked it few days ago,they've the surprise box subscribtion back!and you still can pick custom box too. It's all up to you

Will I try the surprise box?will I purchase the custom box?

Nah,not now. I'm kinda broke right now :"D
Saving to buy eyeshadow palettes, not only one,but three! :"D

So have you ever subscribed to Vanity Trove's?

Lola Box March

Hey guys
Today i want to post my last box from Lola Box,so basically I only subscribed it for 3months,since they've removed the 6months deal. Received this on 20th .
So the fastest box is my 2nd box , then this one,my 3rd box,and the last is my 1st box
Actually tbh I'm not excited with my 3rd box,since the last time I received it is full of crappy useless thing,but atbleast I had to open it in the end,right?
So here we goes

1. Still wrapped with transparent plastic from JNE

3. So,the printed Lola logo is on the top left,quite different from my 1st and 2nd which were printed on the middle like a doughnut box. And the packaging with the outter cartoon box still annoys me since I must flip it upside down so the box inside can come out . Noticed that this box is not scented just like the 2nd box

4. Light purple with white pearl hint box with orange text,printed

 5. Wrapped and tied with orange ribbon with 2 brochures

 6.so on the left is discount brochure,15% off for Crazy Rumor only at Luxola.well,I don't need it,if you want it just mail me or leave a comment,but you'll pay for the shipping of course,and on the right is wome greetings that I don't read,and the items' list on the back that I don't read either,so it doesn't ruin the surprise

 7.The back of the discount brochure,some descriptions about the brand. Well I guess that one of the picture that printed on the brochure is in my box

 8. So I open it and the condition is messed up because I flipped it earlier.but guess what? I am excited! My feeling told me that this is a good box when I saw Hada Labo on top

 9. So I arranged it properly so I can take a better shot









So let me list it from the most favorite and the least favorite

 1. Skin79 Hot Pink BB Cream SPF25
So,even though I saw this already from the messed up,but my eyes attracted to Hada Labo first,because the last time I received a BB Cream and the rest is not that usefull. But I put it on top list since I'm quite curious with this BB cream,so looking forward to use this even though I'm still hesitate to use BB cream (currently falling in love with my new foundation,which I'll review for you soon)

 2.So,I know this is a drugstore product,but I never buy it,but this might be good,and this what makes me excited even though I don't list it on top. One of the reasons is that it's just basic skincare trial so,yeah,I'm still gonna use it but later I guess. I'm still not in the mood testing new stuffs right now since I'm going to be busy and I don't want to get skin issues if it doesn't suit my skin

 3. Shot fired! Got it right,I got one Crazy Rumor in Gingerbread. Well I'm really excited and curious with a lip balm in ginger flavor.Too bad I got this when I just bought a lip balm (that's why I put it in 3rd list). Definitely gonna try this very soon!

 4.Fake lashes! 5pairs! Well I don't like fake lashes but I'm sure I'll need it for my cosplay (planning to make a debut as a cosplayer) and these lashes are natural not like the one I received from Beauty Treats December that quite fancy for natural looks.but the only thumbs down here is no glue included!I don't have glue for lashes so how I'm supposed to wear it?! And I need to wear it less than a week!

 5. Sachets
a. Skin79 VIP Gold BB Cream
b. Skin79 Super Plus Triple Function BB Cream
c. Skin79 The Oriental Gold Plus BB Cream
d. 2sachets of L'oreal Extraordinary Oil for dry hair

 6. And a brochure of Skin79 BB cream list

 9. So,this is the list that I mentioned before

So,that's all. Tbh it's quite difficult to list the order that I like the most since I like it all! Except the sachets.big no no no!

I'm still feeling I just waste my money since I onky received 1 full sized item that's a lip balm,1 trial kit from Hada Labo,and 1 travel sized BB cream. And the rest is....crap! 

And big turn down is this box is all about BB cream . This box deserves "BB Cream Edition" as a theme. Boo!

But it still better than the 2nd box

By the way,I just opened the site and they have removed the 3months deal,and the only leftbis per month subscribtions. And they provide survey and earn lola dots,but I don't take the survey since I haven't use their products from the box from the start,and now the survey chance has gone. I think there's a time limit for it.so be sure to try it as soon after you tried it. You can lie of course,to write a review without never using it before,but that's just awful,and I won't do that

Anywhoo if you want to subscribe,click here , they're having a promotional price right now

Will I re-subscribe?

Maybe,later,not now. I'm still in money crisis after hauls and costume etc. Besides,I don't want stuffs piling up on my closet,so I'll take time to try it out one by one .

I think it's still a decent box,not to mention most bloggers said this is the best Indonesian beauty box that rarely give a bad box,and it's way more affordable than Vanity

So what do you think?did you ever subsribed from Lola? Or have you received your March box?what do you think?

LOLA BOX FEBRUARY

(19th February)
Hey guys!Long time no post!
Phewww.
Have been quite busy,and quite lazy when I'm not busy LOL
So,today I received my Lola Box for February (subscribed for 3months) (you can check my January's box  here)
I'm quite excited to received it early (earlier than my first box) and decided to open it right away! Even though my mom's watching I don't care! (Usually for this kind of box even though my mom knew there's a package arrived,she doesn't know that's mine since I own online shops and even though she realized it's mine later,she won't 'sneak peak' my box,she will be quite angry if she found out that I bought a box that contains random items in sample/travel size since it looks like I paid for freebies that the company (which own the 'box business') received from their purchase/ cooperation especially if she found out most of the products are useless (depends on our taste)(You know what I'm saying?)
And I REGRET that I opened my box in front of my mom!
Here's why!

1.So excited to receive this! Different from usual JNE's plastic packing that can be easily open with 'stick' type plastic that can be use again since we don't need to torn the plastic,but this one is 'sealed' type so I need to torn it. But it doesn't matter! What's matter is the box!

2. Open the packing. The January Box is well sealed from the company and when we pull it ,it won't torn the box.But this one sealed with regular large tape so it torn the box .that's why I don't took picture of the outer box

3. The purple box. Again when I accidentally shake the box it feels very light and only few items on it I guess
And this box is not perfumed like before

4. Inside

5. 20% off brochure from Luxola for Glam-It!
products! Valid from 15th February-14th March. I've checked the link and not interested in any product. So if you want this brochure let me know (you can mail me/comment) and I'll give it to you for free (but of course you'll pay for the shipping)

6. All the products

7. Arranged the products. So I was like... that's it? that's all?None of this makes me excited in 1st glance!










8. Mentholatum Acnes Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask. So this supposed to be a mask for troubled skin.I don't really need it since I already owned a clay mask from Innisfree (which I'll review for you guys later) and this is supposed to be for acnes ,my guessing it'll drying up even a little ,so I already have really cracked face.Maybe I'll try it later when I already settle down my cracking face










9.The descriptions,ingredients,blah blah blah on the back.Click to zoom

10. So this is sample and sample and sample from Juara.My guessing it's a local brand ,it really shows from the name and the batik on the bag. But my guessing is wrong since it's written made in USA . But the inspiration does come from Bali
There's a brochure included and my mom's really upset she thought I only received a brochure ._.





11. From left to right
a. Candlenut Body creme
I guess it's a body product and as you know I'm too lazy to use products for body. I even haven't use my Wangsa Jelita lotion from last month's box!To be true I haven't try any items from last month's box!)
b. Sweet Black Tea & Rice Facial Moisturizer
Yeap,from the name it's a moisturizer (lotion) for face. I guess I'll try it someday
c. Rice Facial Cleanser : a makeup remover, I guess I will use this too someday!


12. The back,with full descriptions (but no ingredients list)









13. Wonderstruck Taylor Swift Eau de Parfum . Okay, so the good point is it's not cheap product's sample . But ! If you follow my post you can see I'm not into perfumes! So this is a waste for me!













14.The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil. It's for blemished skin. Sadly there's no description for the usage . I mean this is use in which step of skincare ? And can you see why the bottle is outside the box? It has been out of the box from the first time I opened the box. Try to put it back but it keeps rolling away ;_;

15. An organic soap bar from Soap Ville. Great! Another soap! *eyes roll* . What kind of crap is this?? even though it's quite pricey for a soap but I'm not expecting to receive soap for every box!








16. This is the worst for me (well it's a great item for you who loves to decorate your nails)
I'm not a type of girl who likes to decorate or polishing my nails. So it's a super crap!

17. The products' list inside the box on the back of the brochure along with the descriptions and prices












So that's all. This month's box is a TOTAL CRAP! I don't need any of this to be honest. It feels I just throw away my money since I'm on crisis now for hauls and deadline!

What at least I still can use :
1. Mentholatum Acnes Tea Tree Oil Clay Mask
2.Juara
3.The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil
4.Soap Bar

Super duper no crappy stuffs:
1.Glam-It! 'Nailed' Nail Decals
2.Wonderstruck Taylow Swift Eau de Parfume
3.Luxola Brochure 20% off

WORST! GAHHHHH
Almost like my Beauty Treats's Box
I have 1month left for the subscription since I subscribed it for 3months

I just wish next month's box won't be disappointing
